Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland, Australia in 2008. The premise of the competition is to develop academic, presentation and research communication skills. It supports the development of students' capacities to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience. Graduate students have three minutes to present compelling orations on their thesis or dissertation topics and their significance. 3MT is not an exercise in "watering down" research but forces students to consolidate their ideas and concisely explain their research discoveries.
